make no mistake the u.s. military will take all necessary steps in nader's security commitment to the republic of korea and to our regional allies. i was pleased yesterday the u.n. security council condemned north korea's actions. this is a strong first step as we work to increase the pressure on the regime with the sanctions and new steps that we hope to take with regards to our presence in that area. turning next to the state of the union address, i was very pleased that the president made clear that the lemming budgetary cuts could really jeopardize military readiness and as you know, my deputy, ash carter and joint chiefs of staff have been on the this week making a very strong case for why we need to resolve the second south of the decreases. average again strongly urge the congress to heed these warnings. as i said last week, this is not a game. this is reality. the fact is that even as i speak, people are being hurt. people are being hurt by the vegan uncertainty that this country is now living under.
